Since I spent half of October and most of November recovering from knee surgery, I feel like I am really behind on the Christmas shopping. My husband and I always fill stockings for each other. Well, let’s be honest, I buy half of my stocking and all of his! It’s much easier for me to just pick up the makeup I like from Ulta than send him there to get it! While I am driving and getting around much easier now after surgery, I still get tired easy, so I am doing a lot of shopping online. Here are some of the best stocking stuffers for men. Best part is, you can get them ALL online!

Every Man Loves the Funky Socks!

Every stocking in this house, always has socks in them. My husband is no different. He loves socks. This year he will have a pair of crazy dress socks he can wear to work, as well as socks he can wear with his cowboy boots. The funkier the socks, the better! Which is so funny to me. I read an article about how tacky it was for women to wear funky socks, yet it is totally OK for men to wear funky socks. Who knows!

Beard Accessories

This year, my husband has a beard. So I will be looking at different products and accessories to help maintain his beard. I am not sure how long he will have his beard, I will be looking for small bottles that he can take on the plane with him.

Jerky’s and Snacks!

Since my husband travels a lot, filling his stocking with some of his favorite snacks is always a good idea. I like to find things that you can’t typically find in your average grocery store. Things like jerky’s, snack mixes, hot sauces…they are all stocking stuffers for men winners for sure! I will be ordering the exotic jerky stick gift bag for sure!

That Unique, Can’t Live Without Stocking Stuffers

While the above stocking stuffers for men are great, I also like to add that unique item that he’s totally not expecting. Random things that are totally useful, but not something he would every think about buying for himself. Yet, when he gets in in his stocking, he is SOOOOO thankful for it!

Which of these stocking stuffers for men will you be ordering?

Our family is really into board games. Every year, on Christmas Eve, my kids get a pair of Christmas pajamas and a board game for us to play together. Every time we get together with my in-laws, we are always up until the wee hours of the night, playing games and laughing together. It’s so much fun! Board games make a great gift. These are our favorites!

Why Board Games?

Um…because they are the best! No seriously, they are! I believe, in a day and age where people are spending more time on their phones than actually speaking face to face with others, we need to find all the ways to get back to putting down the phone and being present. Playing games together does just that. Before we had kids, my husband and I used to host game nights with our friends. I would love to get back to that. It was a lot of fun. This holiday season (or anytime during the year!), give the gift of board games to your friends and family!

Games for Preschool Aged Kids

Hi Ho! Cherry-O Board Game for 2 to 4 Players Kids Ages 3 and Up (Amazon Exclusive)Hungry Hungry HipposCandy Land The World of Sweets Game (Amazon Exclusive)Let’s Go Fishin’Curious George Matching Game

Playing games with your preschool aged children is so important! Not only is it fun for the kids, but it reinforces the importance in taking turns, being a good sport, and a lot of games have a learning aspect to it that supports education and the kids don’t even realize it because they are having so much fun! I can’t tell you how many matching games I played with my kids when they were little. That and the Let’s Go Fishin’ game were their favorites!

Games for Young Kids

HedBanz Game, Family Guessing Game – Edition may varyClue Junior Game5 Second Rule Junior

If there are any games you get from this entire post, you must pick up HEDBANZ and 5 Second Rule. The first time we played HEDBANZ, the kids laughed so hard during the entire game. We did too. Basically everyone has a card that they can’t see. You have to ask questions to guess what is on your card. It really is a fun game!

Board Games for Older Children and Teens

Relative Insanity Party Game About Crazy Relatives – Made and Played by Comedian Jeff FoxworthyCardinal Mexican Train Domino Game with Aluminum Case ~ Styles May VariesCodenamesPlayMonster Patch 5 Second Rule GameSequence GameTaboo Board Game

As the kids get older, the games get better and better! Three of our favorites above are Taboo, 5 Second Rule and Mexican Dominoes. On my list to purchase, as soon as I finish writing this post, is to pick up Relative Insanity. That game looks hysterical! If you click on it, there is a video on Amazon that shows a snippet of the game being played!

Right now is the time to buy board games. Not only are they on a super sale on Amazon, but you can get some games for around $5 each! Remember, these games make a great gift. Are you going to a holiday party and you want to get the host a gift? Why not pick a game or two, put it in a basket with a bottle of wine and a few snacks? That would be a fun and unique gift!

One of the things we have always done for the kids for Christmas is give them a new pair of Christmas pajamas. Sometimes they are Christmas themed, other times they are just a fun new pair of pajamas. It totally depends on if I get the pjs early enough before the stores start selling out of the sizes I need! My favorite year was the year that I got Christmas pajamas for the whole family. My goal is to do that again this year.

Christmas Pajamas for Babies

I still remember the adorable baby pajamas I got for my son for his first Christmas. That was 14 years ago. Back then, it seemed like there wasn’t that many cute baby boy stuff. Not like today. While I was able to find a super cute pair of pajamas for him when he was a baby, the stuff they have now is great! These are a few of my favorites!

Aren’t they cute?!? I honestly don’t know which one I would pick! I have a little baby nephew and he would look so cute in any one of those (the ones for boys, that is)!

Christmas Pjs for Toddlers

When my daughter was a toddler, she really wanted a long nightgown. So we got her a red plaid one just like the one pictured below. We even found one to fit her favorite doll! She loved it! When it comes to toddlers, you want to find something they are interested in. My son loved dinosaurs when he was little. He would have loved those dinosaur Christmas pajamas.

Matching Christmas Pjs for the Family

Like I said before, my absolute favorite was when I got matching Christmas pajamas for our whole family. It was fun and our pictures were super cute! Some of these family matching sets even have pjs that you can buy for your dog! Don’t leave your dog out of the fun. Well…unless your dog tries to tear apart the clothes you put on them…then you may want to forget about the dog!

One of the things we do with the Christmas pjs is we wrap them up and give it to the kids on Christmas Eve, along with a board game and sometimes a movie that we can watch together on Christmas Eve. It’s a fun tradition and one that we all look forward to each year!

What fun Christmas traditions do you have?
